Trim, Trim, Trim.
So I say YES.

NO. Gorillas and bears rule! It's a much more masculine look than the clean shaven or neatly trimmed body. (and when I say Bear, I don't necessarily mean "fat" as so many think of when they think of bears - though overweight men can be just as hot as musclebound guys, believe me.)

No trimming, under any circumstances.

I don't mean ALL OVER. Chest hair doesn't bother me.

I never understood why so many people get grossed out by back hair. It is just the same as the hair on the rest of the body. What's the big deal?

Sorry but I am grossed out by back hair.

Master - it was part of the design used on my postcards for my Cabaret show last year - with the virgin mother and child airbrushed out. I think it's just a lovely painting, as is your icon.

And no trimming of the chest or legs - EVER.

Back waxing in ok if it is maintained - I hate seeing stuble.

Denis doesn't trim - Bless his heart!

Good, because if you removed it, I would have to come into NY and punish you.

Men have body hair. Period.

nmartin i don't think anyone was disputing that fact. . .

Didn't we do this one twice already?

We did Matt, but it always "Bears" repeating.

I think almost any hair or lack there of can be attractive, but I don't think "Manscaping" looks right. If you want hair, let it grow. This trend of trimming it to a quarter inch or whatever looks weird and (most importantly) gives the hairs pointy little ends that can be quite abrasive. There is nothing worse than being with a hot guy who has turned his chest into a porcupine.

Let it grow or get rid of it. Without a trace, post a pic of your burgeoning chest hair so we can all vote! I think I'm going to give it a thumbs up!

the chest, joe, the chest...

.....NOT HOT.
Leave the shaving to women. There is nothing worse than a shaved male chest.....

[baddadnpa]

Posted: 8/5/05 at 10:39am

Yes there is - a shaved crotch is by far the worst look, whether completely or trimmed.

baddad, you are right, HATE THAT

Shave/waxed...NO.

A little trimming is ok if it makes you feel better about yourself. BUT, the minute it becomes obvious as trimming, you've gone too far.

Men have hair. Leave it alone.

It is a very bad habit in modern gay porn for men to trim/shave. Apparently it makes them look "bigger". A major turn off.

There sure are a lot of people obsessed with men on BWW.
